DESCRIPTION	Frank Page designed and created this broadside for the "Crafts in Use" exhibit which ran from December 5-19, 1954. This exhibit was held in the T. F. A. A.’s Art Center located in the basement of the Tucson Chamber of Commerce and featured outstanding examples of fine design and craftsmanship in fabrics, patio accents, lighting, interior and exterior details, interior furnishings, decorative accessories, and jewelry entered by Tucson craftsmen. The purpose of this exhibit was to make Tucsonans aware of the quality craft work produced in their own city for use in their homes. A main feature of the show was the designing and coordinating in room vignettes designed by six prominent architects and designers living in Tucson. Entries for the show were made in two general classifications, Advanced Craftsmen and Leisure-Time or Student. There were 127 works displayed in the exhibit, with award tags being given out by judges Emily Alexander, Arthur Brown, Annette Gates, and Lloyd Kiva.
